THE PASSENGER ASSOCIATION
Several Matters That Were Dis
posed of YESTERDAY.

AT the meeting of the ST. Paul and
Minneapolis Passenger association yes
terday the following companies were
represented: Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul by Mr.. Dixon; Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis d Omaha by Mr.. McCul-
loch; Chicago, Burlington & Northern
by Mr.. Kenyon: Minneapolis d st. Louis
by Mr.. Boyd; Wisconsin Central by Mr..
Ans0n; Minnesota IL Northwestern by
Mr.. Hazard; Northern Pacific by Mr..
Fen, Mr.. Marsh and Mr.. Cook; MiEae-
ap0lis IL Pacific by MIR. Taylor; st. Paul
y Duluth by Mr.. Rockwell; Red Lake
Falls, Mimi; Grand Forks, ID. T.; New
Westminster, Z. G. The matter of men-
ton of through rates via Flint and Pere
Marquette and via Milwaukee and Grand
Huron routes, in the st. Paul and Min
neapoliS rate sheet was referred to the
Western States Passenger association.
The rates now quoted i'll the MinneapO-
lis joint sheet to ST. Louis via Chi
cago were referred to the chairman of
the western States Passenger aSSocia-
ton for adjustment to avoid scalp. A
S2l baSing rate from Minneapolis and
st. Paul to Chicago and return was
added to the TOURISTS rates quoted by
Chicago lines from Chicago to Eastern
lolilIS anu TeCurIl. III was determined
that the sales of tickets, at cents per
mile each way, on account of Fourth of
july, commence the 1St, and continue
the I'd, Sd and 4th, tickets being good to
return on or before the 5th, subject to
the Western States association rulings.
The sense of the meeting was that no
contributions should be made by the
lines members of the association for the
purpose of inducing gatherings or socie-
ties to locate at certain places, or for the
entertainment of such gatherings di-
rectly or indirectly. 1t was resolved
that the lines members of this associa-
ton will not advertise in premium lists
OF state, district or county fairs, or eX-
positions, and issue in payment of same
mileage or other transportation to rep
resentatives Of such associations, or
issue free transportation in any form to
such representatives.

important Bank Decision.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-An opinion was
rendered in the United States circuit
court this morning by Judge Gresham,
which is of the greatest Importance to
bankers and banking men. A like case
has never been decided in American
courts. A. j. Gillespie & Co., of Kan
saS City, were owners of about one
thousand head of cattle, and about the
LIST of October, 1885, they shipped the
herd to Chicago, conSigning them to the
stock yard commission firm of Raphel-
son & Co., and Immediately drew drafts
for the approximate value of the cattle.
RaphelsOn u Co. between the I'd and
9th of the month sold the cattle and de-
posted the money, about S25, 900, with
the Union Stock Yards National bank.
At the time Raphelson 81 Co. were over
drawn at the bank about the same
amount. The bank, not knowing who
the money belonged to, but only that it
was deposited to the credit of Raphel-
son, appropriated 1t to pay the over
draft. A. j. Gillespie & Co. filed bill
in the United State court against the
bank to recover the money. Judge
Gresham decided this morning that Gil
leSpie IL Co. were entitled to the S25,-

A LIVELY TIME
Over the Hour of Closing the Lo-
cal Ticket Offices.


cal Ticket Offices.
There was a very lively time among
the Chicago ticket agents in st. Paul
yesterday. Some weeks ago, they re-
port, a written agreement to close the
ticket offices in st. Paul at p. m was
entered into by the Chicago and st. Paul
ticket agents here, and that by the
terms OF the agreement either party
could terminate the agreement by Civ
ing eight days notice. 1t is now
claimed that Mr.. Mccullough, assistant
ticket and passenger agent of the
Omaha, acting in the absence of Mr..
Ieasdale, yesterday abruptly, and with
out any notice, ordered the Omaha ticket
Office to be kept open the same as it
was before the agreement was
made. ALI the ticket agents
and all others in the Chicago
offices were red-headed about it yester-
day for the reason that all the offices
will be compelled to keep open just the
same as the Omaha does. This they say
compelS them to submit to two or three
hours more work, with no more pay
and to work an unreasonable number of
hours, and all for nothing at all, as
there are not ten tickets a year sold
after o'clock at night. Mr.. McCulloch
says that he never personally signed
any contract of the kind named and
that though the city ticket agent might
have signed one, he (McCulloch) never
knew there was any such clause in it as
called for eight days notice before it
could be abrogated. He regretted that
the men should be compelled to work
any more hours than they had been
working, still as he felt that it was for
thp IntnrDSt of fhn bo 20 ,x
the city ticket Office kept open, he could
not act in any other way than he had
acted. This is the substance of the
whole matter. For an hour or two yes
terday there was a good deal of excite
ment among the employees of the city
agents, and good many hard words
were used.

THE GRADING-DOWN PROCESS.
Prospects for the Lowest Wheat
Eates Minnesota Ever Knew.

There was considerable interest Gre
atcd on change at Minneapolis yester-
day by the announcement of 21S cent
break by the Milwaukee road in the
Chicago wheat rate, making the Min
ncapolis-Chicago wheat tariff ~ cents
Hat, and leaving the milling in transit
10 cents at intermediate stations. It is
probable similar rate will be made by
the Northwestern by Monday. One
effect, says the Market Record, OF the
breaking of wheat and flour rates be-
tween Minneapolis and Chicago by the
Milwaukee road, will be to lower the
rates by ell the interior lines in Mime

A Canadian Pacific Scheme.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-A decision
will probably soon be rendered at the
treasury department which will be of
equal interest to shippers, consumers
and railroad companies. For consider
able period the Canadian Pacific Rail
road company has been endeavoring to
obtain from the treasury department
permission to bond goods on the steam
ship line which runs from San Fran
cisco to Port Moody, the western ter
minnS of the Canadian Pacific railroad
system. The import of such an order
Will be seen when it is understood that
goods shipped in bond from San Fran
cisco to Port Moody could be carried
under the same bond to any place thin
the United States over the Cana Pa
cific railroad. The permission |. Gond
goods over this line, therefore, is, in eff
feet, permission to the Canadian Pacific
to transport merchandise from the Pa
cIf1c coast to any desired point in the
United States at such rates as it NAV
fix. The advantages of such route to
shippers, especially if, at the expiration
OF the term of suspension, the fourth
section OF the interstate commerce act is
to be put into effect on the transconti-
mental roads, will be best understood bys
the shippers themselves. Those who
represent the Canadian Pacific road are
confident that permission to bond this
steamship line will be obtained in a few
days.

WINNIPEG, Man., May 20.-The most
intense excitement has been caused
here by the publication this morning of
Sir George stephens telegram threat
ening Winnipeg if the agitation for a
railway connection with the United
States'iS continued. The papers were
eagerly bought up, and knots of men
congregated on the streets, talking eX-
citedly and geSticulating wildly. Deep
denuneiations of the Canadian Pacific
railway impudent and dictatorial man
ftesto were heard on all sides, and senti-
ments of fierce opposition were ex-
pressed by all. The more eXcitable talk
about rebellion ii the federal govern
ment continues 10 stand by the Cana
dian Pacific railway on the matter of
diSalloWance. The matter was referred
To in the legislature this afternoon when
Premier Norquay read the following
telegram, which he had sent i'll reply to
Sir George Stephens:
Cannot understand how your company can
construe the contemplated action of the pro
vincial government 10 build railway TO the
southern boundary as 4 breach of faith 10
holders of Canadian Pacific railway securi-
ties. The government is acting ON behalf OF
-
action toward IL To the Canadian Pacific rail
way or the Canadian Pacific railways con-
templated removal of workshops.
The government declares their inten-
ton TO proceed with the arrangements
for the construction OF the road to the
boundary. The Canadian Pacific rail
way contracts with Winnipeg binds the
company to maintain the principal shops
for the province i'll this city. The Sun
this evening says:
That amy man or any corporation should
he able TO illuminate threats of commercial
extinction against city Of 10000 inhabi-
tanS,the capital of a province and the center
OF its trade, is an outrage. 1t seems incred-
lble that any sane man should Use such Ian
guage i'll Il free community. But sudden in
tiation sometimes has strong influence on
small souls; the new made baronet feels the
world at his feet, and previous experience
having showed that he could kick Manitoba
with impunity, he is trying what effect
other kick will have. This time the kick will
have II back action of the most convincing
kind, and The people of Winnipeg and the
province Of Manitoba Will put the Canadian
Pacific railway men in their proper place, as
servants Of and not dictators to the com
munity.
Business is almost ct standstill, and
no other topic but disallowance and the
Canadian Pacific railway monopoly is
discussed.

THE STATE. OF. TRADE.
Weekly Review Of the General
Business Situation.

New YORK, May 20.-R. G. Dunn &
Co., in their weekly trade review, say:
The most important news of the week,
if confirmed, is that the interstate com
merce commission will revoke all tenn
pOrary suspensions of the short haul
clause, terminating them July 1. The
revolution IN; business must therefore
progress until its full effects have been
realized. Some of them are seen in the
contracts taken by the Canadian Pa
cific to move eastward the wool crop of
California and 1O,OOO,O00 pounds Of
sugar, and in the marked revival of
shipments around the Horn. Others
appear in the decline of trade at the
larger centerS OF distribution and manu-
facture, and the increase of diStril u ion
at smaller towns, with the up-Springing
of new manufacturing works at
many localities. Most of the labor
troubles seem to grow out of the mar
r0wed field for distribution of products.
The reports are still generally encour-
aging, with no instance of unusual de-
lay in collections. Where business is
deemed dull it is in every case pro
nounced larger than at the same season
last year. A remarkable feature is that
money is reported in abundant supply
everywhere, except at Chicago and New
York, while the demand is said to be
more limited at Detroit, but very good
at Cleveland, where the highest rates
are reported, as at Omaha, s to 10 per
cent. Real estate speculation is MAIN
tanned there and at other points by the
rapid investment of local and Eastern
capital. At Nashville the ruling excite
ment is the coming sale of lots in the
new town near Nashville, where new
iron works will be located. The in
creased demand for money at Chicago
springs from wheat speculation, and
produce operators are busily seek
ing assurance of more aid
from banks, while New York
exchange falls to 40 cents discount.
Wheat weakened and after week of UNI
certainty with sales of 81, 100000 bushels
here, closes less than cent above last
week. Corn and oats are weaker. Oil
is over 1c lower. Pork products are dull
and sugar unchanged. In coffee there
has been wild advance with sales of
$500 bags here, but the rise of 1c is
wholly speculative. Stock speculation
has been active, with some advance, but
the American public is not absorbing
securities. The enormous offerings on
the Paris loan and the new rate for
money at London account for the tenn
pOrary use of large amounts here. The
week shows decrease of 9.3 per cent.
in produce exports for the past week
against an increase OF 5 per cent. in i'm
ports. In dry goods strong import
in cotton causes advance in prices of
many brown and bleached goo and,
drills, with standard browns at 74c, but
the exceeding dizziness in woolens conf
tinue unrelieved. Recent heavy fall
ureS of German houses in the American
trade disclose OverprOduction and UNI
profitable competition on that side. The,
business failures during the last week

THE MARQUIS DE MOREs.
How He Explains the Grimshaw
Charges.


New YORK, May 20.-The answer of
the Marquis de Mores, who was ar
rested at the instance of West side
butcher named Samuel Grimshaw, will
be filed on Saturday. 1t will be in eff
feet an almost complete denial of the
statements in the affidavits on which the
order of arrest was granted. Counsel
for the marquis said to-day: 1.-THE facts
OF the case are substantially these: Mr..
Grimshaw came to the marquis and said
he understood that the marquis was
forming company. Grimshaw said he
could get great number of butchers in
the company as he (Grimshaw) was pres
ident of the Butchers association. The
marquis said: If you can do as you
say, then go ahead Grimshaw's coun-
sci came here and the contract was
made. The marquis, Grimshaw, myself
and Mr.. Wilder were present. Grim
shaw knew what he agreed to do. Grim
shaw, when he called on the marquis,
said: Let me have S1,700 for small
change and the marquis did so. We
hold the note unpaid to-day, and it can
be discounted ON satisfactory terms.
We can show it to be clear case of mis-
representation.

FIGHTING TRADES UNIONS.
A Labor War Assuming National
Importance.

CHICAGO, May 20.-From all parts of
the country dispatches were received
to-day by President Tappen, of the
builders exchange, and President
DOwney, of the Master Masons, endors-
ing.the plans of campaign adopted yester-
day by the building trades conference.
1t was evident from the telegram that a
majority of the builders of. the United
States regard Chicago as the city where
the master contractors are to light 1T
out with trade unionism." In view of
this fact and after much telegraphing
the members of the executive board of
the National Builders association de-
cided this evening to assemble i'll Chi
cagO next Tuesday and take hand in
the struggle. The committee consists
of j. Milton Blair, Cincinnati; w. IL.
Sayward, Boston; John s. Stephens,
Philadelphia; E. S. Scribner, st: Paul;
John t. Tucker, New York. There is
a visible disposition among the Chicago
builders this evening to keep matters as
they now are if possible until the az
rival of the national committee.
Unless the situation has by that time
greatly altered, the idea is to
push matters then with the
support that the national organization
can give in various ways ii it so chooses.
Contributions for the new building in
tereStS council that is to enforce the
card of principles are coming already,
many outside individuals subscribing to
it. The first amount placed in the
hands of the chairman was from the
North and Northwest side brick manu-
facturers. The building interests
council held meeting this evening to
prepare statement to the general pub
lie. Although the opinion was not
unanimous the council decided there was
no necessity for hurry and the state
ment should not be issued for several
days, especially as the master masOns,
who started the fight against the trades
unions, had not yet passed upon the
card of principles. The proposed as
Semblage of the executive board OF the
National Builders association also Oper-
ated to postpone action. Adjournment
was taken until Monday. Eight or ten
prominent iron manufacturers held an
informal conference to-day and decided
to request President Crane of the Metal
Workers association to call a special
meeting of that body to take action upon
the the building trades card of prices.
AS the association has LOG members and
employs 1000 men, large numbers of
whom are in no way connected with the
building trades, there is chance that
the lockout and the fight for the card Of
principles may spread to other indus
tries.
